Right now, only Vinnik is indicted. BTC-e only received a fine (as far as we know).

Unfortunately, it's worse than that. BTC-E was indicted on two counts, as part of the same indictment -- running an unlicensed money service business and conspiracy to commit money laundering. And the feds seized their main domain (BTC-E.nz still seems untouched, not sure about the others). So it looks a bit more grim; I think they expected that $110mm fine to be paid out of seized funds. But it's still not entirely clear if they were able to seize funds. One would think they would have announced it in the initial press releases...
